Governor Bodwell is one of the most in
dustrous men in the State and between his
duties as chief executive and his extensive
business interests he does not obtain much
leisure for recreation. Saturday, however,
he managed to secure a few hours and took a
trip to Small Point, remaining until to-day.
The larger portion of last week he spent at
his office in Boston. During his absence
over 100 letters were forwarded him from
Hallowell and on his arrival home big pile
of communications awaited him. To day he
has two meetings to attend, one in this city
and another in Gardiner, and to morrow goes
70 Bangor.

July II, 1887
SIR: The desirability of uniform sSsten

seems TO be conceded.
While the regulations and the practice of

number of crimes al common law by statutory
ensctments resulting from thu growth or our

ties of travel between the states IN recent

inharmunious procedure IN ms important
branch of criminal law seems clearly to exist.
II can hartiv be douh.ei that in many in
stance. haelug CRIMINALS ace afforded an OPP
portunity of escaping from the consequences
of their acts. thst vexAu0us delays often
occur and that unnecessary expense results
by reason of the want of mutually estio-

They have stated to Judge Savage of the
insolvent court that they should want $500
for fees, expenses snd professional services.
This Is understood to be per cent on col
lection, or about $1,000, and 81 900 more for
professional services and expenses. This
amount has not yet been allowed By Judge
Savage, who demurs at the amount of the
bill, and has the matter nov under consider
alton. Judge Savage states that OF the col
lections, 50 termed, Sis 600 came in one

Paul Knitting Works, for 1910 and
interest from August p, 1887. The
hrst and last were taken out in the
District Court; the other in the Pro
bate Court. The amount claimed by
the Hat Company was over 1912; but
the attorneys reduced it to $499. so,
as one cent more would have brought
the suit under the jurisdiction of the
District Court.
Now that the goods are attached,
they will doubtless have to be sold

this is not done, the costs that will
accumulate will soon absorb them.

CANVAS PRAIRIE,

The Settlers There Getting Along Quite
Comfortably, and Expecting to do
Better Still-How the Long Winter
Evenings are Spent.
James B. Allen, of Soldier, was in
town last Friday, to pay his taxes and
lay In some supplies. He reports the
Prairie as settling up rapidly, and
says that if artesian wells can be put
down cheaply they will treble the area
of first class land on the Prairie. The
ranchers are generally well-to-do, all
having enough hay and grain to
winter their stock with, and vegetables
and meat for their family. Heretofore
the ranchers have frequently had to
assist one another through the winter;
but this year everybody seems to have
enough of everything and a little
over. Money is scarce with them, but
from this time on, as they produce
more than they consume, the farmers
can realize on their surplus, and live
quite comfortably.
Heretofore bout the only winter
amusement on the Prairie was dancing.
People danced almost every day, and
kept it up until late at night. But as
the Prairie gets settled up, there is
less dancing. The great amusements
now are card parties and the weekly
meetings of the Literary Lyceum at
Soldier. These take place every Fri
day night, the ranchers coming for
10 miles around. They begin arriv-
ing about 3 or o'clock in the after
noon, and by 7 o'clock the streets Of
Soldier are crowded with teams hitch
ed around to every post and with the
people wondering what Lewis Lavake
will have in his paper. Mr.. Lavake,
with his paper, is really the life OF
these assemblies, as every one else
tries to get seven" on him for the
"hits" which he manages to fill his
columns with. At first, people felt
rather rocky toward Mr.. Lavake; but
now they take his extravagances in
good part, and the person hit the
hardest generally laughs the loudest
and then lays awake o nights think
ing how to get "even" at the nex'
assemblage.
Mr.. Allen says that the settlers ex
pect to hear the "toot" Of the loco
motive in their valley ere two year.
have passed, and that the coming o
a railroad will double the value 0
ranches. Even now IS and $40 pc
acre is no uncommon price to b'
asked and paid.

Sheep VS.. Cattle.

An irrepressible conflict in which
the cattle men will doubtless be the
victors, has arisen between them and
the sheep men, on the Snake river
range. The new code of Idaho pro-
hibits sheep men from grazing their
focks on the ranges already taken up
or occupied by herds of cattle. This
IS owing to the fact that sheep DIES
troy range upon which they graze
and ronder it unfit for cattle. The
first case bearing on the question vii
be tried in Haley soon, and the law
seems so plain that the cattle mer
must win.
